HR consultancy Think People is providing a free public workshop to assist those who have been made redundant or are unsure of their career's future due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The online event will take place from 10:00am - 1:00pm on Monday 23 November.
According to the BBC, Northern Ireland’s unemployment figures could surpass 100,000 by the end of 2020.
In response to this, Think People’s Confident Career Transitions workshop will aim to provide the latest advice, best practice, and techniques to help participants in the search and application for career opportunities.
Think People’s Managing Partner Emer Hinphey said: “We were inspired by some of the stories of local support that we have heard throughout the pandemic and we wanted to do something to help people who are struggling right now.”
